• Destination IPv6 Address Type—Select Link Local or Global as the type of
IPv6 address to enter as the destination IP address.
- Link Local—The IPv6 address uniquely identifies hosts on a single
network link. A link local address has a prefix of FE80, is not routable, and
can be used for communication only on the local network. Only one link
local address is supported. If a link local address exists on the interface,
this entry replaces the address in the configuration.
- Global—The IPv6 address is a global Unicast IPV6 type that is visible and
reachable from other networks.
• Link Local Interface—If the IPv6 address type is Link Local, select from
where it is received.
• Destination IP Address/Name—Address or host name of the device to be
pinged. Whether this is an IP address or host name depends on the Host
Definition.

is repeated the number of times configured in the Number of Pings field,
whether the ping succeeds or not. Select to use the default interval or
specify your own value.
• Number of Pings—The number of times the ping operation is performed.
Select to use the default or specify your own value.
